Clinical metagenomics, a faster approach to identify secondary infections in hospitalized COVID-19 patients – News-Medical.Net
Scientists have demonstrated that clinical metagenomic detection of microbial communities can improve the management of infections in COVID-19 patients.
A team of scientists from the United Kingdom has demonstrated that clinical metagenomic sequencing-based detection of microbial communities in respiratory samples can improve the management of life-threatening hospital-acquired infections in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.
